Things have been crazy, so not many updates to the site lately. That’s going to change, with more work on ILYY and RSO soon.

I’ve also got time for some more reviews, so if you’re a yo-yo company and are interested, hit me up!

YYA Zine #4 should launch some time next month.

i went to the brands section and noticed it’s on multiple pages and i don’t see a way to do a manual search rather than have to flip through the pages. am i just being dense and missing it? if not, a search function would be dope. even just a site search in the main dropdown or something. thanks!
